Chapter 4 provides a full description of the proposed development whilst Chapter 5 describes the Construction Strategy. The following aspects are particularly relevant to the archaeology, architectural and cultural heritage assessment: • Design: • Likely significant effects of the proposed development on architectural heritage and setting; and • Likelihood of encountering archaeological remains associated with the footprint of the proposed development. • Operation: • Likely significant effects of the proposed development on architectural heritage and setting during operation. • Construction: • Likelihood of encountering archaeological remains during intrusive works including subsurface construction and open cut construction of the outfalls and interceptor sewers; and • Underpinning works to Arklow Bridge. It should be noted that this assessment has had regard to the ongoing data gathering and assessment of the archaeology, architectural and cultural heritage as part of the proposed Arklow Flood Relief Scheme. This work is currently being carried out by Courtney Deery and ADCO on behalf of the Office of Public Works and Wicklow County Council. As such, references to this ongoing assessment are made, where relevant, within this assessment chapter. 12.2 Assessment Methodology 12.2.1 General This assessment determines, as far as reasonably possible from existing records, the nature of the cultural heritage resource within the footprint and a defined vicinity of the proposed development using appropriate methods of study. 247825/EIA/EIAR/1 | Issue | September 2018 | Arup Ch 12 - Page 1 \\GLOBAL\EUROPE\DUBLIN\JOBS\247000\247825-00\4.

  • Sustainable Management of Tourist Attractions in Ireland: the Development of a Generic Sustainable Management Checklist
    SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN IRELAND: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GENERIC SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT CHECKLIST By Caroline Gildea Supervised by Dr. James Hanrahan A dissertation submitted to the School of Business and Humanities, Institute of Technology, Sligo in fulfilment of the requirements of a Master of Arts (Research) June 2012 1 Declaration Declaration of ownership: I declare that this thesis is all my own work and that all sources used have been acknowledged. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis centres on the analysis of the sustainable management of visitor attractions in Ireland and the development of a tool to aid attraction managers to becoming sustainable tourism businesses. Attractions can be the focal point of a destination and it is important that they are sustainably managed to maintain future business. Fáilte Ireland has written an overview of the attractions sector in Ireland and discussed how they would drive best practice in the sector. However, there have still not been any sustainable management guidelines from Fáilte Ireland for tourist attractions in Ireland. The principal aims of this research was to assess tourism attractions in terms of water, energy, waste/recycling, monitoring, training, transportation, biodiversity, social/cultural sustainable management and economic sustainable management. A sustainable management checklist was then developed to aid attraction managers to sustainability within their attractions, thus saving money and the environment. Findings from this research concluded that tourism attractions in Ireland are not sustainably managed and there are no guidelines, training or funding in place to support these attraction managers in the transition to sustainability. Managers of attractions are not aware or knowledgeable enough in the area of sustainability.
